Yes you are right that the thread might be in the wrong place. We are trying to help you though and Kwinnie posted this today:

@ agogo am not that familiar with your device. but let s try out step by step, bear with my bad english.

Toengel mentioned (in the very beginning) there are UPG/ UPG_ALL folders containing .bin file - that should be for the Home Theatre Blu-ray models. Hence, not applicable for your model as it is DVD model.

So for DVD model:
1) Note the current firmware version

2) Unzip the firmware file downloaded. There should be 2 folders:
i) For v.**.**.**.** only, say now it s 'For v.**.**.**.02 only'
ii) For all other versions

3) So, now if you have v.**.**.**.02 firmware, you will have to refer to the i) folder; if you have any other firmware version say v.**.**.**.01, you will have to refer to the ii) folder.

4) No matter i) folder or ii) folder you refer to, you will see a bin file or 2 bin files inside.

5) Copy all the bin files in the folder that you should refer to (maybe 1 bin file or maybe 2 bin files) into the USB root directory.

I bought my HTS5543/12 in Europe but looking at the regional code,is showing 4.And the current model numero is showing HTS5533-55.What is this all for and what region must 4 be? Normally Europe is 2.But i have the-55 instead of the -12 and 4 instead of 2.Is all confusing and complicated.I love softwares but this just made me to think again..

parallel import from another region - happens all the time. region 4 includes latin america (likely from brazil)

see my post: go to set up, version then see what filename is used. find a upgrade that unzip file to the same name. put it into root of usb, plug in and voila. see the pdf upgrade help file if a separate directory is required.

i didn't check your model but for the hts3350, only region codes are different in the various _xx files. my guess is you can change region quite easily by renaming the files. however, i don't know if it screwed your player.

anyone with _51?
I like to confirm if the region code is 1. trying to put together a table of _xx vs region, so any help would be good.

You're right sir,it must be Brazil cos the default language is in Portuguese.Is really sad that i thought i bought a "European standard Electronic but in reality is just "third-world stuff-substandard perhaps"... These French dealers are so crooked and corruptible.I bought it the same amount i would have buy the one made in Poland or China for Central Europe...And now what i found here is a bit different "HTS5533-78" instead of what's in my system of "HTS5533-55"....

You mean your device is a /12 version. (which makes sense cuz you are in French and /12 is for Europe)
but when you press 8520 (not sure if it's the same code, this is for BDP), you see it's a /55 version with region 4 code?

If this is true, can you confirm if you have use another firmware, say one you downloaded in the HTS5543/55 page before?

there is a label on the main device, does it indicate /12 or /55 or /78?
pressing 8520, what is the version you see on screen? 12, 55 or 78?

If the 2 versions are not aligned, then it is a problem and think u shud report this to Philips by giving them the serial number for a quick check. if it is really a mistake, you can go to the service centre to have this fixed.

@ agogo am not that familiar with your device. but let s try out step by step, bear with my bad english.

4) No matter i) folder or ii) folder you refer to, you will see a bin file or 2 bin files inside.

5) Copy all the bin files in the folder that you should refer to (maybe 1 bin file or maybe 2 bin files) into the USB root directory.

6) Perform upgrade.

I tried exactly those steps right in the beginning and it does NOT work.
Where are the Philips technicians to assist with this sort of problem or do they just leave it for external members to do their work for them?

Hi indeed would be good to know what your device says, I mean if sticker says /12 but in your device it says /55 or /78 then there is an issue. Agogo what happens if you look with the code mentioned by Kwinnie?
